Chapter 6

"Who's that then?" I asked Sal whilst looking back at Q.
"That's Q" he answered.
"Have you had an argument?" I asked.
"No, It's just he will wanna talk about Cheryl.. my ex.. and I just wanna forget about her." He replied.
"Fair enough. I know a quiet little park where we can get away from people" I said to Sal. I lead the way as he followed.

I took him to where me and my grandfather used to go when I was younger. It was a quiet park with no one in sight. It was where I always go when I just want to be alone.
"I've never taken any one here before" I told Sal. He gave me a warm smile as we both sat down on the bank with a little lake in front. The frost from the trees were glistening, and the leaves were smothered in frost. It was December 13th so it was quite cold. The air was filled with the sound of my teeth chattering.

"Are you cold?" Sal asked me.
"Just a bit" I lied. I was VERY cold.
He took off his black coat and placed it around me, revealing his red checkered shirt.
"Aww thanks" I said. We sat there watching the lake quivering with the breeze. Sal put his arm around me as I placed my head on his shoulder.

Sal's phone kept ringing but it was in his coat pocket that I was wearing.
"Just ignore it" he told me.
"Maybe we should head back?" I suggested.
"Yeah, but let's walk slow" he told me. I couldn't help but smile. We walked together in unison. I grabbed onto his arm as we walked back down the park back to the cafe where we had met.
"So Emily.." Sal began. "There's something you should know".
A rush of panic traveled through my body.
"I'm on tv" he said. I began laughing until I looked at his face all serious.
"What?" I asked holding back the laughs.
"I'm on impractical jokers. It's on trutv and I just didn't want you to see it and think I was lying to you" he told me truthfully.
"I don't care! I'll watch it now! That wouldn't change my outlook on you at all" I told him with a smile.

We got back to the area where the cafe was. We saw Murr, Q and Joe all waiting and me and Sal had to now part ways.
"Thanks for cheering me up" he told me.
"Thanks for keeping me company" I said back. I could see Sal looking back at the three jokers so decided to say I was going. But before I left he gave me his number.
"Well I'll text you" I told him. He smiled at me back as we parted ways.

"There you are!" Joe said to Sal. "Where have you been!?" Joe asked.
Sal looked back to try and find me in the crowd.
"Just.. for a walk" he said clearly distracted.
"What about Cheryl?" Murr asked.
"Who?" Sal asked whilst looking for me. "Oh yeah... her I don't know" he replied. Q tried to find what Sal was looking for.
"Are you okay to get back to set?" Q asked him.
"Yeah let's go!" Sal said walking back.

As they were waiting for Joe to place his earpiece in, Sal was texting me on his phone.
Sal: hey
Sal: it's me Sal
Sal: Emily....
Sal: you there?
Emily: hey 😁
Sal: hiya
Emily: what you doing?xxx
Sal: on set, you?
Emily: nothing
Sal: I gotta go, I'll text you after
Emily: I'll be waiting ☺️

"Hey Sal, get off your phone!" Q said. "We are ready" he added.
"Alright I'm coming" he replied.

As they were filming sal was distracted thinking about me. He was always checking his phone and not paying full attention to what was happening. After they finished filming Q and Sal went back to Sal's place.
"What's up with you?" Q asked. Sal was ignoring him and looking on his phone for a text from me. "SAL!" Q shouted.
"Yeah?" He asked innocently.
"What's up? You have been distracted all day?" Q said.
"Promise you won't tell anyone" Sal asked him.
"I promise" Q said, concerned as to why Sal asked him that.
"Well I met this girl, Emily. She's beautiful and well we were talking and went off for a walk together and well... I just can't get her out of my head!" Sal revealed.
"Wow! Another girl" he mocked.
"No way, she's not ordinary. I've never felt this way before" Sal said.
Sal had a text
Emily: hey :)

"She's texted me" Sal told Q.
"Ooooo" Q mocked.
Sal: hey Emily xx

I rang Sal as I gathered he was home.
"She's ringing me!!" Sal told Q.
"Answer it then Sal!" He told him.
"Hey Emily.." he began. He went into his bedroom and left Q to watch tv. We were talking for about 2 hours.
*2 hours later
Sal walked out of his bedroom with a beaming smile across his face.
"Finally!" Q said.
"Haha sorry Q" Sal said still smiling.
"You really like her don't you?" Q said.
"Honestly?" Sal asked. Q nodded.
"A lot...."
